The shops that keep buildings running deserved better software.
Too simple on one side. Too heavy on the other.
Jobber and Housecall Pro are built for residential. They're easy, and commercial shops outgrow them around five techs, because PM agreements, equipment history, and deficiency quoting aren't what they do. ServiceTitan and BuildOps are built for enterprise. Implementations run $5,000 to $50,000 and take months, the contracts run a year minimum, and a ten-tech shop can top $60,000 in its first year, subscription plus implementation.
"Choking at the cost to run Service Titan, Fieldedge, Davisware, Aptora. All want $30k to get running and $130 per user, per month. And they have features we don't use."
Most commercial shops answered the same way: paper, spreadsheets, and the owner's memory. That's who BoltWright is for.

Built so a small shop can actually switch.
- Migration measured in days. AI reads whatever you have, paper included, and builds your records. You approve them. Free, every time.
- The price is on the website. No demo gate, no quote call. One price axis, trucks, and everyone else is free.
- Nothing gated. The AI is the product, not an add-on sheet. Every shop gets all of it.
- No contract. Month to month. If we stop earning it, you leave, and your data leaves with you.
Own the asset, not the ticket.
A ticket closes and goes cold. An equipment record compounds. Every visit, reading, photo, and repair makes the next call on that unit faster: the pre-job briefing sharper, the repair-or-replace math honest, the quote priced from history instead of guesswork. The 30-year techs are retiring and taking that knowledge with them in their heads. BoltWright is where it stays.
And the agreement book on top of those records is what a buyer pays for when a shop sells. Clean records aren't bookkeeping. They're the valuation.
You can't hire your way out. You can multiply what you have.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 40,100 openings for HVAC mechanics and installers every year through 2034. Every shop is fighting for the same techs. BoltWright's answer is to give the ones you have their hours back: no paperwork nights, no retyping, a second opinion at the rooftop, and every deficiency they spot quoted instead of forgotten. The same crew, more wrench time, more found work billed.
